Illustration of a male operator with a thick black beard in a tan helmet and scarf, braced at a window with a rifle over a shield-mounted transparent window, watching the street below — Original illustrationOur own composition of the operator, drawn from the character art the publisher publishes for him: the tan tactical helmet with its night-vision mount, the black sunglasses, the thick black beard, the tan scarf around the neck, the tan desert-camouflage jacket, the tan plate carrier with the United States flag patch, the black device on the chest, the headset microphone, the black gloves and the shield with its clear window. The window and the street below are our own scene rather than a location in the game. This is drawn artwork, not a screenshot of the actual game, and not a photograph of a real person.

The Unique Ability

H.U.L.L. ADAPTABLE SHIELD is this operator's unique ability. What it does:

Blackbeard's H.U.L.L. Adaptable Shield changes shape to give the most cover on foot or on rappel, carries a pneumatic breaching system for soft walls, and can be used alongside his primary weapon.

Loadout

The publisher lists the operator's weapons and gadgets as four groups. Two primary weapons and two secondary weapons are carried as alternatives, and the two gadgets are chosen before the round:

Category	Item
Primary Weapon	Mk17 CQB — ASSAULT RIFLE
Primary Weapon	SR-25 — Marksman Rifle
Gadget	Claymore
Gadget	Frag Grenade
Unique Ability	H.U.L.L. ADAPTABLE SHIELD

Loadout: the publisher's own operator page, read October 12, 2026. A weapon's type is the publisher's own label for it. Where the publisher lists no type beside an item, none is shown rather than one being supplied.

The Record Fields

The publisher publishes a biography for each operator, and this page carries its record fields — real name, date of birth and place of birth — in the table at the top. The publisher's page carries a written biography and a psychological report beside these record fields. They are the publisher's own narrative text, so this page carries the record fields and links to the source for the rest.

Update Rule

Abilities and ratings change with balance patches, and this page tracks the publisher's own operator page rather than trying to keep pace with every adjustment. The date at the top records when that page was read, not when the game last changed. If a value here disagrees with the publisher's page, the publisher's value is correct and this page is out of date.
